Hello, I've made an activity out of gearsket.ch . This is a present for our friend Paul Fox, who pointed me to that excellent app. Thanks Paul!
http://manuq.github.io/gears-activity/ I contacted the developer and started sending pull-requests to make GearSketch a lib we could use, and I've been also improving the icons. It works great in a touchable device. For touch support it uses hammer.js . So this is another option to handle for globally adding touch in sugar-web. In previous email I've mentioned pointer.js, which abstracts input events (mouse, touchscreen, pen tablet) like latest IE does. The help inside the app is great. It brings a demo mode, which directly shows you what can be done. It is similar to the one found in Implode activity. I wish we can do that as a global solution for help in web activities. It is written in coffeescript, and after playing for a bit, I can see it as a possible choice for activity developers. Its syntax sugar makes the code look more like the gtk activities written in python. One of the reasons we went for plain js for sugar-web was because of the View Source feature. Well, seems that since I researched a few months ago, Source Maps has improved a lot, and I can see coffee code in the web inspector. If the code breaks or if I add a breakpoint, for example. Nice! Also, GitHub does a nice job displaying only the coffee changes, and hidding the JS changes by default: https://github.com/frankleenaars/gearsketch/pull/6/files Cheers, -- .. manuq .. _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
